Last Weekend, May 23-26, was the south-west pop-culture event Phoenix Comicon 2013. We were there with our cameras ready to take on the crowds of cosplayers at the convention. Unfortunately, there were so many amazing cosplayers that we couldn’t snap shots of all of them. Here are the cool cosplay photos we took from Phoenix Comicon 2013!..

Brazilian cosplayer Andressa, ‘Lilithy’, of LilithyCosplay.com. (the site is in Portuguese, here is an English translated link) Lilithy has been cosplaying since 2004 and boy are her cosplays great! She’s cosplayed characters such as Ashlotte (Soul Calibur IV), Hades (Saint Seiya), and Gyoda (Changeman). However Lilithy also writes tutorials for Cosplay accessories and has made a couple of ‘How I made my cosplay‘s (including her Gyoda cosplay). She also writes tutorials in a group cosplay site calledCosplayers.netWe find these two sites incredibly helpful for completing our own cosplays and figured why not share them.

What Time is it? It’s Cosplay Time! This hilarious and adorable trio of cosplayers are.. CourtoonXIII as Fionna the Human, Chinasaur as Marceline the Vampire Queen, and CatalystSirene as Princess Bubblegum. Each costume has an amazing amount of detail and stays true to the character. Best of all is that the Fionna, Marceline, and the Princess Bubblegum have props. Great looking props, may we add. The Bass Axe looks as if it’s been used. The Peppermint Butler plush is just too cute and a great idea for any Princess Bubblegum cosplay. While as Fionna’s Crystal Sword also is fantastic. The skin colors are perfect also… The Princess Bubblegumcosplay isn’t super pink and the Marceline cosplay isn’t too grey. They made the colors seem realistic.
